Context. Many of the open clusters listed in modern catalogues were initially reported by
visual astronomers as apparent overdensities of bright stars. As observational techniques …

This is the first of a series of papers presenting the results from our survey of 25 Galactic
globular clusters with the MUSE integral-field spectrograph. In combination with our …

We derive an accurate mass estimator for dispersion-supported stellar systems and
demonstrate its validity by analysing resolved line-of-sight velocity data for globular clusters …

We present Keck DEIMOS spectroscopy of stars in eight of the newly discovered ultra-faint
dwarf galaxies around the Milky Way. We measure the velocity dispersions of Canes …

We have determined the masses and mass-to-light ratios of 50 Galactic globular clusters by
comparing their velocity dispersion and surface brightness profiles against a large grid of …

We present structural parameters from a wide-field homogeneous imaging survey of Milky
Way satellites carried out with the MegaCam imagers on the 3.6 m Canada–France–Hawaii …

We report the results of a large set of N-body calculations aimed at studying the evolution of
multimass star clusters in external tidal fields. Our clusters start with the same initial mass …

We review what has been learned recently using N-body simulations about the evolution of
globular clusters. While simulations of star clusters have become more realistic, and now …

We present a database of structural and dynamical properties for 153 spatially resolved star
clusters in the Milky Way, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, and the Fornax dwarf …

The discovery of numerous non-nuclear X-ray point sources with luminosities L> 1039erg s−
1 in several starburst galaxies has stimulated speculation about their nature and origin. The …
